Question 2
A person starts facing West and walks through a labyrinth. He makes the following turns: right, then right, then right. What is his final facing direction?
Starting from West, right, then right, then right leads to South.
Question 3
A walks 39m East. B walks 17m West. The ratio of their distances from start is 2.29:1. What is the position of B relative to A?
A at (39, 0), B at (-17, 0). Difference: (-56, 0) → West, 56.0m.
Question 4
A 10m tall person is standing outside at 12:00 noon. If the sun is directly overhead, what is the length of his shadow?
When sun is directly overhead at noon, no shadow is cast (or shadow directly below).
Question 5
A hiker is traveling on a bearing of West (270°). If it turns 270° anticlockwise, what is its new bearing?
Starting bearing: 270°. Anticlockwise turn of 270° → 0° = North.
Question 6
A person is facing West. If he turns left, which direction is he now facing?
Turning left from West means rotating 90° left. From West, left leads to South.
Question 7
In a certain code, ↑ means North, ↓ means South, → means East, ← means West. A person starts facing ←, turns left, then turns right. Which code represents his final direction?
From West, left → South, then right → West. West is coded as ←.
Question 8
In a certain code, A means North, B means South, C means East, D means West. A person starts facing C, turns left, then turns left. Which code represents his final direction?
From East, left → North, then left → West. West is coded as D.
Question 9
A person starts facing East and walks through a labyrinth. He makes the following turns: right, then left, then right. What is his final facing direction?
Starting from East, right, then left, then right leads to South.
Question 10
B is 30m North of Q. R is 41m North of Q. What is the position of R relative to B?
Position of B: (0,0). Q: (0, 30). R: (0, 71). R - B = (0, 71) → North, 71.0m.
Question 11
A soldier is facing North. He is given the command 'About Face'. Which direction is he now facing?
'About Face' means to turn 180°. From North, turning 180° leads to South.
Question 12
A 10m tall person is standing outside at 9:00 morning. If the sun's rays make a 15° angle with the ground, and his shadow falls towards West, what is the length of his shadow?
Shadow length = height × tan(angle) = 10 × tan(15°) = 2.7 m. Shadow direction: West (sun in opposite direction).
Question 13
A person is initially facing South. He turns left, right, and then left. Which direction is he finally facing?
Start: South. left → right → left → Final: East.
Question 14
An airplane is traveling on a bearing of Northwest (315°). If it turns 270° anticlockwise, what is its new bearing?
Starting bearing: 315°. Anticlockwise turn of 270° → 45° = Northeast.
Question 15
A man is facing East. He turns right. What direction is opposite to the direction he is now facing?
After turning right from East, he faces South. The opposite of South is North.
Question 16
In a certain code, ↑ means North, ↓ means South, → means East, ← means West. A person starts facing ↑, turns left, then turns right. Which code represents his final direction?
From North, left → West, then right → North. North is coded as ↑.
Question 17
Y is 25m East of C. Q is 12m North of C. What is the position of Q relative to Y?
Position of Y: (0,0). C: (25, 0). Q: (25, 12). Q - Y = (25, 12) → East, 27.7m.
Question 18
A person is facing North. If he turns right, which direction is he now facing?
Turning right from North means rotating 90° right. From North, right leads to East.
Question 19
At noon, if a person is standing outside, in which direction does his shadow fall?
At noon, the sun is directly overhead, so shadows are cast directly below the person, not in any specific horizontal direction.
Question 20
A person wants to go from (0,0) to (4, 5) but there is an obstacle at (1, 4). He can only move North or East. What sequence of directions should he take to avoid the obstacle?
Direct path blocked at (1, 4). Detour: first move East to clear obstacle's x-coordinate, then North. Final destination: (4, 5).
